Possibly the coolest drag strip autographed item idea I've ever heard of, just a concept

 A dragstrip timing light tree.... with autographs on each bulb of the legends
and the other famous people on the tree post

So, who would be the dragstrip legends to autograph the bulbs?
Here's my list:
Mickey Thompson
George Hurst
Tommy Ivo
Don Garlits 
John Force
Don Prudhomme
Bill Jenkins
Bob Glidden
Warren Johnson
Joe Amato
Kenny Bernstein 
Dyno Don
Ronnie Sox
Willie Borsch
Linda Vaughn
Austin Coil
Pete Robinson
Don Schumacher
Wally Parks
Connie Kalitta
Bob Hoover
Keith Black
Isky

these companies probably deserve a sticker on that timing light, as they have probably done more than most companies for drag racing:

Goodyear
Deist
Chassis Research

Someone you've probably never heard of, Leonard Harris, won 18 top fuel eliminators in a row at Lions

By the way, besides Tiffany, do you know what the 2nd most famous blue box is?
Chrondek!

I hope it's not bragging to say that I got lucky one time at the swap meet, and for 20 bucks, bought a Chrondek M3 clock and light (below)

By the way, I was looking to see what were the other most reputable old school original timing systems, as I couldn't recall the names, Crocker, and Fosdick
